Need a few N.O.S. Ford parts?

8BA carb in a can! Never knew that was how they came.

I looked through the pics and didn't notice a can big enough to contain an nos grill for my 39 pickup...
 
Unbelievable!!!
Looks like a lot of NOS parts will be on the market soon. How did this guy accumulate all this "stuff"?
 
Can you say hoarder, but in a good way. One person could never use all those parts in a life time. Wish I could go to it just to see how they sell the items plus pickup a few things for myself.
 
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Get me a ticket on an aero-plane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
 
Sweet Jesus we've hit the jackpot!! reminds me of when my mate picked up something like over a thousand mid fifties Fairlane parts some NOS all LISTED on a sheet by the owner for $1500. And he in Perth Western Australia.. Pfft unbelievable !
 
I'll bet he traveled around a bit and hit every Ford dealership around and asked about old obsolete parts. Most of the little dealers had a lot of stuff they wanted to toss and he bought the stuff dirt cheap! Back in the 40's-50's the dealers could not return parts to Ford. They bought it, they owned it. The obsolete parts return program did not start until the 60's. I had a chance to clean out a large barn in New Milford, Ct. with lots of late 50's and early 60's parts back in the 90's. Too bad I was broke. I did get a bunch of parts books though.
I'd go crazy in a place like that using my Ford parts skills to categorize it all. Talk about fun!
 
Wow! Just looking at those pictures is exciting, a time capsule! I like the Colt pistol's too!
 
What a collection, buy as much as you can and resell to us LOL. I wish I could go to that one. Have fun and tell us all about it. (take pics too)
 
It's hard to believe, but back in the 60s, when I was "picking" Ford dealers, I would have left about 90% of that stuff behind. I didn't have the storage and you could not give that stuff away. I just went for the "pretty" stuff.
Sure wish that I could go back !

barnfind08 has been curiously silent on this thread. I think he's on the hunt for this one.
